Only heard bits and pieces, but this is what I gathered:

Full press link: LINK


- Sam has had about zero input on the offensive gameplan so far and Enos basically did whatever he wanted, regardless of what was needed.

- Enos was running a lot of RPO type plays in practice, but they never were installed on Gameday.

- Sategna never played because, as soon as you look up, the game is over and he want featured much

- Guiton is the smartest coach on the offensive staff

- Volume of plays will be scaled down

- only plays that have already been run this year will be featured... The full Briles offense will not be there due to terminology change.

-Sam sounds totally defeated and has no answers.

Anything else?

Enos' system is a good, but didn't work here and just wasn't a fit

But yet Sam made the easy, lazy hire anyway.

I just can't fathom him surviving this year anymore. The State loss was the last straw and he knows it.

Of all my expectations for this season, this has catastrophically underwhelmed even my most cynical of predictions. It feels like 2012 but with less excuses.

Should be a fire able offense by Pittman. You’re the CEO.

This is what I said when we hired Enos. Really-the best person for the job was a guy we already had here once and was met?

Was an easy reach and Sam deserves to pay the price. He sems to be a CEO coach who doesn't want to do any coaching at all

Hopefully this is true and Pittman wants out. HY should be able to negotiate a smaller buyout if pittman wants to retire.

What really has me questioning Sam is that Arkansas and South Carolina have the two worst offense in the league with what we’re both considered top 4 QBs in the league. So essentially Sam’s number 1 and number 2 choices to replace Briles lead the two worst offenses in the conference. Safe to say his eye for OC talent needs to be questioned.

I think it is more of the want for a offensive philosophy and identity that doesn't fit what is needed against the competition faced.

Sure everyone would prefer to take the uga and bama approach of low risk offense, ground and pound, take care of the ball, TOP, etc.

Problem is there isnt enough talent to go around for every one to play this way.

I thought this was known pre presser based on enos firing.
The rest sounds like poor management and hiring .....or utter deception by enos...man he really push him in front of the bus....

He's 32 and has never called plays before.

He was replacing the Messiah of OCs, apparently.

Interestingly it may be Dan getting pitt fired after Pitt leaving for UGA derailed Dan's career trajectory and went from the most covetted OC in the sec to just bamas QB coach.

Sounds like either insubordination by Enos and Sam let it happen or Sam is making crap up to cover his arse. Either way, bad look.

Some of you act like we should never change offensive schemes

Whether or not an offensive coordinator is able to adapt his play calling to the players he has is not dictated by the hire. Most fans were excited about Enos coming back. We and Pittman couldn’t have predicted Enos was unable to adapt.

If that could be predicted, our fans and Pittman wouldn’t have been exited over the hire. Hindsight is 20/20.

But we now have fans claiming they saw his inability to adapt coming

Some of us knew what would happen. Didn't expect it to implode this soon but his record was right there for everyone to see. Check my post history.
